As I was making this part I couldn't help wondering what it must have been like in that ancient Greek workshop, 2000 years ago. Doing the same job, seeing the same shapes come together... trying not to mess up those dovetails!! What did the shop look like? What were the tools? Was this a team effort, or the work of a single master? With all that hand filing, surely I was doing the "apprentice work"!

Anyway, I hope it fires up your imagination too, and I look forward to sharing more with you soon.
